So this is how you swim inward. So this is how you flow outwards. So this is how you pray.

I tell you this to break your heart, by which I mean only that it break open and never close again to the rest of the world.

I've always wanted to write poems and nothing else.

Each body is a lion of courage, something precious of the earth.

The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.

There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But who wants easier?

I try to be good but sometimes a person just has to break out and act like the wild and springy thing one used to be. It's impossible not to remember wild an want it back.
